I decided that since this was the first blog entry, it would make sense to talk about the people who I'll probably talk about the most in future blog entries. While I'm sure others will make appearances from time to time, I'll cover the four mainstays (including myself) first. We'll see what happens from there (and if someone else shows up, I'll make sure I explain who that person is, though you may not get a picture).



This is me. I'm Del. I generally like people unless they're pedophiles, and people generally like me unless they're pedophiles. I am 5'5, 105 pounds, have 8 gauge earrings, and two tattoos. My hair is a combination of colors that inevitably involve black, brown, purple, and blue, and I almost always wear a baseball cap, generally cocked slightly to the right. I take organization to new levels of compulsiveness. I like computers, gadgets, Diet Coke, webcomics, Range Rovers, longboarding, surfing, computers, books, music, and computers. I dislike walking vehemently. I have a song that I sing about how much I hate walking when I am forced to walk.



This is Audrey. Audrey is a genius at pretty much anything she does, and fortunately for me, she agreed to do the web design for this website (and a couple others that will be showing up later). She's 5'8 with long black hair that generally has streaks of pink, blue, turquoise, or green. She likes creating things, video games, comic books, puzzles (like Sudoku), gadgets, film festivals, NPR, Dutch design, and longboarding. She's generally involved in approximately five to ten projects simultaneously and singlehandedly does the work of at least three people on those projects. She's also going to be the other blogger on this website, though she may mostly post pictures.



This is Ben. He does not like having his picture taken. He is six feet tall and has long dyed black hair, many tattoos, many piercings, and rides a motorcycle. He has terrible hearing and a tendency to just nod and smile if he doesn't actually understand what you say. He likes longboarding, computer games, geocaching, remote-controlled helicopters, and walking. He has an amazing ability to wear through boots - even Doc Martens only last about a year before he splits them open in a few spots. He is a complete and utter sweetheart who frequently references both gnomes and aliens and has a penchant for making things explode. He also happens to be one of my two roommates. He has threatened to blog on this website, but since Audrey and I are the only two with upload powers, we'll see what happens.



This is JJ. JJ likes people and people like JJ. Not liking JJ is generally an indication that there is something wrong with you. She's 5'7 with constantly changing hair colors, three tattoos, and many piercings, including four in her bellybutton alone. She may be the nicest person you will ever meet, and joins me in discouraging Ben (gently) from making things explode. She likes walking, music, CSI, longboarding, movies, and messing around on my old laptop. She loves taking pictures, unfortunately for Ben. She is also, hands down, the biggest slob I've ever met. I'm pretty clean; Ben's a bit messy; JJ creates wastelands of slobdom. However, she keeps this tendency (mostly) to her bedroom. She is my other roommate.
